crab apple?

I just bought a house which has an apple tree in the backyard. I'm told
it is a crab apple tree. Right now the apple's are about the size of my
thumb and are red. You can see a picture here:

I have several questions:
1. Is this really crab apples?
2. When will they be ready to pick?
3. Can I use them to make apple cider?
4. How big should they get?
Thanks for any info.
Dave
